My area has had a huge number of car break-ins recently.
Two days ago the stereo was stolen out of my wifes car.... in my *&$&^#% driveway!!! Worst of all my wife was at home at the time... She had no idea it had happened, but then again WorldWar 3 could be going on outside and she wouldn't know. But what scared me was the fact that the garage door opener was in there, they could easily have some inside.
Now my wife knows thats there are two loaded pistols in the bedroom (BHP knock off and an XD) and she knows how to use 'em, but still. My wife is 6 mo. pregnant, I dont want her to be in this type of situation.
I have taken care of the garage door thing, the one I have has a lock-out feature that can prevent the remotes from opening the door. Thats done. When i called to police to notify them of the theft, the officer told me that there have been an alarming # of incidents recently. So that had me thinking... do neighborhood watches really work? most of us around the block know, or have met eachother and get along okay.
My question to you guys is: Have you ever organized one, been part of one, and are they effective?
Thanks you!
